After successfully killing a cultivator and absorbing his mental energy, the exhausted Tang Zhen was once again full of energy.
This gave him enough confidence to continue persevering.
Although this method was good, it could not be used to its full potential because there were still terrifying monsters in the water.
Just as he killed the cultivator, the surrounding strange insects swarmed over. The huge black shadow under the water also suddenly moved.
A feeling of being locked on rose from Tang Zhen’s heart. It was clearly from the enormous being underwater.
Tang Zhen, who was not afraid of anything in the world, actually felt his hair stand on end at this moment. It was as though the danger of death was about to descend.
The divine soul avatar was actually insignificant. Although it had Tang Zhen’s invincible mentality, it did not have the strength that matched it.
When the real crisis came, they were really helpless and had no means to resist.
The only thing he could do was to lower his presence and hope that he would be lucky enough to avoid this disaster.
The surrounding insects crazily swarmed towards Tang Zhen and wrapped around his body.
However, in the blink of an eye, it formed a black ball and dragged Tang Zhen to the bottom of the water.
During the entire process, Tang Zhen did not move at all. He was like a lifeless rock.
During the process of sinking, Tang Zhen could still feel that the consciousness of the underwater monster was still locking onto him.
Fortunately, the monster had only locked on to him and did not launch an attack.
However, those strange insects did not care about this. They continued to drill and bite Tang Zhen, trying to enter his body.
Even if it was extremely painful, Tang Zhen would still silently endure it and would definitely not move.
At this moment, Tang Zhen felt as if every day was like a year. He was in so much pain that he was about to faint.
Tang Zhen quickly felt that he was already close to the monster in the water. The distance between the two parties was getting closer and closer.
One of the monster’s tentacles slowly extended over and grabbed the round ball of worms that was wrapped around Tang Zhen.
It was these tentacles that had just attacked the giant monster on the sh.o.r.e and dragged it into the water as food.
could it be that a similar scene was going to happen to him?
Tang Zhen had already made his preparations. If this was the truth, he would definitely not wait helplessly for death.
After the tentacles touched it twice, the monster did not attack. Instead, it continued to swim forward.
Tang Zhen’s heart relaxed. However, he still remained silent because the monster had not gone far.
In the deep and cold water, Tang Zhen continued to fall. During this time, he could see a group of insects biting the cold and twisted remains of the cultivators.
At the same time, there were also tiny insects that constantly swam out of the corpses, forming groups to find new targets.
The cultivators who had been killed had become the breeding ground for the insects. The tiny insects were obviously just born.
After carefully looking at those insects, Tang Zhen could not help but be a little stunned. It turned out that the insect’s head was actually the same as his appearance.
The other insects were the same. They looked like other cultivators and dragged their slender and smooth bodies.
The scene of his own corpse giving birth to insects and then turning around to attack him made him very uncomfortable.
When the monster was completely far away, Tang Zhen’s body suddenly trembled and rapidly stirred like a top.
The insects that surrounded Tang Zhen were instantly cut into pieces, erupting with a large ball of pitch-black liquid.
The worm that had entered Tang Zhen’s body was also instantly squeezed out and exploded into a cl.u.s.ter of residue.
After breaking free from the strange insect’s restraints, Tang Zhen quickly rushed to the surface of the water and began to swim forward with all his might.
The scene he had experienced before continued to repeat itself. There were many cultivators around him who were lucky enough to escape from the land but were now struggling desperately in the water.
No one knew where the end was, so they could only swim forward desperately to avoid the attacks of those insects.
From time to time, there would be cultivators who would sink to the bottom of the water, or they would fight each other to survive.
Every time this happened, the underwater monster would appear and lock onto the winner.
Not every cultivator was as lucky as Tang Zhen to escape from the monster’s hunt. From time to time, there would be unlucky people who were dragged into the water by the tentacles.
Tang Zhen had been observing all this while and faintly understood what was going on.
Once a cultivator’s mental energy exceeded the limit, they would inevitably be targeted by the monster. The more excessive the mental energy, the more likely they would be attacked.
When a cultivator’s mental power exceeded the limit and was far beyond the normal state, there was a 100% chance that they would be attacked by the underwater monsters.
After understanding the principle, Tang Zhen became much more relaxed.
Even if they couldn’t, they would only choose the weakest cultivators when they tried to kill them.
It was not that they were bullying the weak and fearing the strong, but that the mental energy acc.u.mulated in these weak cultivators ‘bodies had become very little.
They were basically like a lamp without oil and would sink into the water very quickly.
It was not easy to kill such cultivators, but the rewards were very little. It was far less cost-effective than killing those powerful cultivators.
However, in order to be able to persevere under such an environment, Tang Zhen really did not have many choices.
No matter how harsh the conditions were, they had to do everything they could to complete it in order to persist and reach the key point.
It was unknown how much time had pa.s.sed. Tang Zhen could not remember how many cultivators he had killed. He had narrowly escaped death again and again.
Looking at the surrounding water, the number of cultivators had become fewer and fewer. Only a few could persist to this point.
Tang Zhen was very clear in his heart that there were even more cultivators behind him that were continuously falling into the water.
There would always be some cultivators who could last until the moment they landed.
While he was in a daze, Tang Zhen saw a black line appear in front of him. This was the first time his vision had changed ever since he had entered the water.
“Land?”
The thought that flashed in his mind caused Tang Zhen’s consciousness to wake up. He knew that his persistence along the way had finally paid off.
Tang Zhen continued to swim forward. He was finally able to confirm that the black line in front of him was the coastline of the land.
The black line was not a beach, but a cliff.
On the cliff, there were many claw-like things, and they had pitch-black, sharp nails.
Its sharp claws were constantly scratching, trying to climb up the cliff to land. This was an unavoidable obstacle.
This scene was a bit horrifying. He wondered if the sharp claws would pierce through his stomach after touching his body.
He knew that there would be danger, but he could only brace himself and continue forward because there was no other choice.
Tang Zhen finally arrived at the bottom of the cliff. The “ka ka” sound of his fingernails scratching caused people to feel a kind of frenzied feeling.
If a mortal heard this voice, they would probably enter a state of madness in less than ten seconds.
Tang Zhen leaped out from the water. At the same time, he brandished his blade and hacked at those sharp claws, easily cutting them off.
He grabbed the wriggling arms and kept climbing up, at the same time, he kept slashing.
These sharp claws were of varying length as they continuously clawed at Tang Zhen, bringing with them an unbearable stench.
There were also some sharp claws with dried corpses on them that were swinging around with the movements of these arms.
The difficulty of climbing this claw-like cliff was a little more difficult than Tang Zhen had imagined. However, it was definitely unable to stop him from landing.
White blades and severed arms flew in the air as Tang Zhen finally rushed up the cliff.
A vast world appeared in front of Tang Zhen. There was no end to it as far as the eyes could see.
Looking at the two sides of the coastline, there were many tired figures who were climbing up to the sh.o.r.e..
